> show your numbers. You've done it for me: > The carbon emissions to build a Tesla are less than two years of carbon emissions of an ICE car The truth of this claim depends entirely on how much you drive, and the Tesla report says nothing about what assumptions went into their comparison. Two years of emissions of a Ford Explorer driving 50,000 miles a year is going to be a lot different then two years of emissions of a Civic driving 5,000 miles a year. Obviously there is a set of not-entirely-unreasonable assumptions under which electric vehicles come out ahead. But the best way to reduce emissions from driving is not to use an electric vehicle, it is to drive less.
